Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for various settings without being overwhelming. Its unique suede and fruity-floral notes make it an interesting choice for dates and more formal gatherings, and it's subtle enough for office wear if applied lightly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Suède de Suède opens with a bold, almost animalic kick of castoreum and Sichuan pepper, quickly softened by a plush, velvety suede accord. As it settles, the unexpected sweetness of cloudberry and a subtle green nuance from strawberry leaf emerge, intertwined with the creamy floralcy of osmanthus. A woody foundation of cedar and patchouli grounds the composition, leaving a sophisticated, slightly powdery trail of musk in the drydown.
